Author Spotlight ~*~ Brandy L. Rivers

Her paranormal series is fantastic and links to our reviews of the 2 books are below!

Everyone say "Hi Brandy" and be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win one of her books!

Thank you for letting me take over your page briefly.

I'm Brandy L Rivers, and I just put out the prequel for my Others of Edenton Series. New Beginnings is a full length book and takes place two years before In Too Deep which is already out. This one covers Jess and Slater's story.

Jess knew her life would never move forward if she remained a part of Gregory’s pack. Some Alpha’s just don’t know how to take care of their wolves. She had managed Gregory’s bar for years but she knew he would never sell it to her.

After one giant mistake, he went from bad to worse. As a psychic, she knew it was a downward spiral.

Taking her future in her own hands, she contacts the Alpha in Edenton. He is happy to sell the empty bar no one has the time, nor desire to renovate, much less run.

Their attraction is unexpected and the last thing either want, but they find the only thing they need in each other.

There is just one problem. Slater’s second in command is plotting against him. Liam will use anything to take over as Alpha.

Plenty of werewolves, an old vampire flame, plus a paranoid second, and don’t forget the psychic with a whole lot of attitude.

He turned toward her. She was now
standing with her hands on her hips, glaring up at him. He almost smiled. “How
the hell is Gregory still an enforcer? He was a sniveling mess.”

“He’s nasty in a fight. He hasn’t
lost one yet.” Jess slumped onto the couch next to Slater who slung his arm
around her.

“Really?” Slater asked quietly. “He
can actually fight?”

She smirked as her gaze swung to her
mate. “San Francisco doesn’t have a lot of strong wolves. Not like you do here.
There were a few who probably could have challenged him and won, but they never
did.”

“San Francisco doesn’t have a lot of
dominant wolves.” Slater shook his head. “How did you manage to stay there so
long?”

She shrugged. “Jamie is there. I
stayed until I couldn’t stand it.”

“Your twin?” Hayden asked, his head
tilting to the side. He only knew she was an empath and that she didn’t seem to
get into as much trouble as Jess.

Her gaze snapped to him. “Yeah, my
twin.”

He just nodded and changed the
subject. “What did Lincoln do after you were shot, before you left?”

She took a deep breath. “Healed me.”

“How?”

“Not sure.” Her eyes narrowed. “Do I
look like a healer?”

“No. Do you know what he is?” Hayden
tried for a neutral tone and failed because her eyes flared in response. He had
never felt Lincoln’s brand of magic before. Of course he was curious what the
young man was. He had a way of calming most situations without much action.
Just his presence seemed to make most people relax.

“Does it matter? I told him I
wouldn’t say a word, and I won’t.”

Hayden’s eyes went wide. She knew?
She wouldn’t tell him but she knew? Lincoln never told anyone, and so far he
hadn’t had a reason to force the issue. “And if I asked Slater to command you
to tell me? I may need to know someday.”

She shot to her feet and jabbed him
in the chest. “I won’t say a damned word, and I’m pretty sure Slater’s smart
enough not to force the issue.”

“She’s right.” The air vibrated with
the Alpha’s growling tone. “I won’t. I advise you to back off my mate.”

“And Victoria,” his eyes narrowed in
Slater’s direction. “Why did you let her drink from Jess?”

“I trust her,” he answered simply.

Hayden knew her secrets, but he
didn’t think Jess knew. “Are you sure wolf blood won’t cause her problems in
the near future? She’s been off Others’ blood for decades.”

Slater sighed heavily and Jess
frowned as she turned to look at him.

“Was she addicted to our blood in
the past?” she asked quietly.

Slater brushed her hair over her
ear. “It’s not my story to tell. Trust me though, she’s not going to come back
to drain you. She only drank from you to pull the silver out. She didn’t want
me to lose you.”

Apparently, that was all Jess needed
to hear because she nodded. “Okay.” She turned back to Hayden. “Well? What
else?”

“Since neither of you are being
terribly forthcoming, that’s all for now.” One day, he’d figure out what the
hell happened and what Lincoln was and what drove Liam to lose his shit like he
did. In fact, his next stop was Liam’s to see what he could find.

Wow, that was awesome . . .

I think I like Hayden even more now!

Brandy, Thank you so much for joining us and sharing this little extra insight!

Brandy L Rivers is the author of the Others of Edenton Series. She wrote the series slightly out of order because In Too Deep was just the first one to come to her. This is the prequel. In Too Deep was the first book, but it takes place two years later. Shadows of the past will hopefully be out late November. It will cover Hayden and Amethyst. As an avid reader, Brandy has always loved writing. She became serious about it as a stay-at-home-mother. She has a file full of manuscripts she plans to edit and put out there eventually. She lives in Western Washington with her husband and three kids, where she is already working on the future stories in the series.
